Eugene Mangum

Eugene Alonzo “Jaws” Mangum was born on February 19, 1979 in Columbus, Ohio to Eugene Swanson and Teresa (Mangum) Busby.

Eugene was a unique and adventurous young man. His sister describes him as a firecracker. He talked about cooking a lot and loved to cook and share his recipes. If you knew him, he was funny. He loved his family and always wanted to bring everyone together. He faced many different challenges and obstacles in his life and overcame many. One thing for sure, Jaws was definitely a fighter.
